i had it. i had all the ingredients and was putting them in the pot, only to realize that i had boiled my onion not cooked. i had also used up my other onions...

now on an unrelated note why dont the plants like onions regrow? i just think it is a critical oversight to not have that. surely me wasting all 4 onions wasnt my fault, its your fault for not giving me more.

also why does something that looks like a water tile chop? is it like a cutting board? 

on my second run i somehow got "unknown" in my pot. this prevented me from putting water in it and forced a reset. it seems like if you put an item in the pot before putting water in, it puts unknown in the pot. this would explain why i cant put water in it. the pot seemingly needs water in it to contain items. you can however put items inside without water. so the game puts a unknown item in the pot. you can however not boil with unknown or take unknown out, making it a softlock. 

after making the ramen the water in the pot also turns into unknown, but you have already won by then so it doesnt matter.

all in all a good game. at first washing was tedious until i realized i could use the pot to get all items to the well in one go. then making all the ingredients was pretty satisfying. the ramen shining in a rainbow light was such a nice touch to showcase that you have indeed made the mighty ramen.

Hey man! This was such a cool game! I loved the music and the scenery. The smirking figure was a little cocky for such a relaxing game, but didn't take me out of it.  I really liked how much you had to pay attention to the actual recipe to get going! It was like an adventure game without all the annoying hopping from NPC to NPC to do a favor for them to trade for something else. The fact it was one recipe was also nice. I also LOVE COOKING and this was my JAM! Haha. I loved how you had to murder the cow with the knife  and fill the bucket with water, and I especially loved that you had to wait for the water to boil or the food to cook. Adding that in was a really nice touch!

I actually liked running back and forth to collect ingredients, but it got a little too much when I had to wash each mushroom individually at the well instead of using a water bucket. Why did you include that part of your gameplay? To me, that was the only place that got super aggravating.

I did have a couple of weird game elements. I added all my ingredients to the pot and nothing happened! Then I think I clicked Alt or Space, I can't remember which, and all ingredients popped out, but a bunch of them had a Boiled characteristic x 3! Why did you make that a thing? Unfortunately because of that I wasn't able to finish. Is there ending or something to tell you if you finished? I wish you could put everything in, go to your book, and click a button that says "complete the ramen!" and it can notify you with a warning if something is wrong. That and fixing that weird feature which lets the pot explode all the ingredients out and give them multiple "boiled" characteristics would help a lot hahaha.

I really enjoyed this concept, gameplay, music, art style, and the effort you put into this. Thank you so much for taking the time to work on something like this. I really wish you the best in all you do in the future!
